Aim and Scope
Asian Journal of Economic Modelling (AJEM) is an international, peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to advancing the frontiers of economic modelling for theoretical inquiry and policy relevance. The journal provides a dynamic platform for the dissemination of high-quality research—both theoretical and empirical—that utilizes economic and econometric modelling techniques to analyze contemporary economic issues and guide evidence-based policy-making.
AJEM invites original contributions that develop, refine, or apply economic models to explore the complexities of global, national, and regional economic phenomena. The journal emphasizes robust methodological approaches and encourages innovative applications of existing and emerging models across diverse economic contexts.
The journal welcomes submissions that include but are not limited to the following areas:
Macroeconomic and Microeconomic Modelling

The journal particularly encourages studies that demonstrate the applicability of models to real-world policy challenges, with a strong emphasis on empirical validation, forecasting accuracy, and policy relevance.
